Description :
A talented artist. The son of a kakemono-mounter, he studied under Goshun in Kyoto and associated with Rosetsu in Nagoya, where he settled. Known for his involvement in several haiga and kyoka anthologies and the wonderful gafu-style Fukei gaso of 1817. An original painting, sumi and light colour on paper, image size 44 x 11.5 in; 111.5 x 29 cms. Shows Shiyei Sennin ( Chinese: Tsze Ying ) riding the red carp in storm clouds to heaven. The story tells of how Shiyei caught the carp and, because of its fine appearance, decided to keep it. After just one year it had grown to ten feet in length with horns and feelers. Shiyei’s adoration of the fish led to it telling him that it was there to take him to heaven. Recently remounted with light blue silk mounting. Wood rollers. Very good condition. New box. Signed Gessho with seal Yukisada Genkei. Status: Available
